You may apply for a record suspension (formerly known as a pardon) after a certain period, typically five years for summary offenses like shoplifting. If granted, a record suspension can help clear your criminal record, making it easier to move on with your life. However, until you obtain a record suspension, the conviction will stay on your record and may impact employment and travel opportunities.

IT DOES NOT GO ON YOUR CRIMINAL RECORD
In Texas, a shoplifting charge can stay on your record permanently, unless you are able to have it expunged or sealed. Expungement is possible in certain circumstances, such as if the charges were dismissed, you completed a diversion program, or you were acquitted.
A conviction for shoplifting will remain on the Police National Computer (PNC) until the subject has reached at least 100 years of age. The conviction will show on a basic level criminal record check until it is spent and will show on Standard and Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks until it is eligible for filtering.
